Should Texas offer state-sponsored gun training for teachers?

As the AP reported, “Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst called Friday for state-funded, specialized firearms training for teachers and administrators to guard against school shootings.

“Dewhurst, a Republican, said school districts would nominate who they wanted to carry weapons on campus. The training would be more extensive than what is currently required for a Texas concealed handgun license and include how to react in an active shooter situation.”

Whaddya think?

— Good idea or not?

— Should schools hire armed guards or let employees carry weapons?

— Should adminstrators be encouraged to carry pistols instead of teachers in classrooms?
